Large strategic projects and discretionary spending are not being focused on today. Focus is now on tactical implementation of revenue generating projects, or incremental enhancement and extension of existing initiatives. Where .dot com investment was thrown at process transformation to “new” revenue streams, the current investment environment is opportunistic process
improvement of proven revenue streams.
The questions that business executives must ask today to determine if an IT project is a reliable investment are; 1) Does this initiative ensure that my line-of-business applications are safe, 2) Does this initiative increase revenue, 3) Will I see a reduction of cost due to resource efficiencies from this project 4) Can this project be delivered rapidly (no more than 6
months to mitigate risk and maximize return.
Strategic Goals Cannot be forgotten.
While CIOs are operating in this new environment they must also ensure that their tactical approach is indeed in step with the strategic direction of the company. This means short-term execution within a long-term action plan. Or, apply the Think Globally Act Locally metaphor to IT planning.
